Spy film The spy film genre deals with the subject of fictional espionage, either in a realistic way (such as the adaptations of John le Carré) or as a basis for fantasy (such as many James Bond films). Many novels in the spy fiction genre have been adapted as films, including works by John Buchan, le Carré, Ian Fleming (Bond) and Len Deighton. It is a significant aspect of British cinema, with leading British directors such as Alfred Hitchcock and Carol Reed making notable contributions and many films set in the British Secret Service.
Joseph Hone Joseph Hone (February 25, 1937 – August 15, 2016) was an Irish writer of the spy novel. His most famous novels featured a British spy called Peter Marlow. The first of the series was "The Private Sector" (1971), set in the Six Day War. Marlow's story continues in "The Sixth Directorate" (1975), "The Flowers of the Forest" (a.k.a. "The Oxford Gambit") (1980), and "The Valley of the Fox" (1982). During his heyday, in the 1970s, Hone was favourably compared with writers such as Len Deighton, Eric Ambler and John le Carré. Whilst some spy novels, such as those of le Carré are often set mainly inside the offices of the spy department, and attract praise for the depth of their characterization and plotting, others (such as the James Bond series) are set in the field, and provide explosive action. Joseph Hone's stories by contrast, have a foot in both camps, and he has become renowned amongst aficionados of the spy genre for both the quality of his writing, and the excitement of his plots. He released his memoir, "Wicked Little Joe" in 2009.
